I only had a 24 hour window to re-tape and spray the pearl red which looking back now I could have eliminated taping the pearl white because coverage for the red on the white was excellent. I had read that most will spray white first, tape and spray the primary color over but I wasn't ready to risk spraying a red pearl on a white pearl. Lesson learned for next time!

3 coats of clear (1.25 gallons) later, we have the finished product! I managed to only get a couple of minor clear sags in areas that will be covered with either the front bumper or trim so I'm really happy with the results!

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Wow great looking build love the colors. Mar-k makes awesome trim worked well on my build as well. You will love the Ls motor also. If you want to add cruise control to it it's very easy. I did the cruise option with my 03 ls 6.0 swap.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

I noticed the SPI wax and grease cleaner. I've used their products on 2 car builds and will use them on the truck that I am building. Great guys, great products.
Your truck is looking good!

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

I scrapped the idea and decided to go with an aftermarket Spectre performance intake kit for ease of installation and I think the chrome gives the engine compartment a nice touch.
http://stickyxd.com/c10/67/B395379D-...22483B0182.JPG

Could you share what part number you got for the intake kit? I ended up using the stock intake tube but put a spectra filter on the end. I dont think it looks horrible but yours def looks better. any hood clearance issues?
Attachment 1698161

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

SPECTRE 9900 Cold Air Intake System

No hood clearance issues, I also used the same kit on my previous build.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Going to look great with that lower molding on.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks man, I’m really looking forward to start putting it back together this weekend and the trim is what I can’t wait to see.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Awesome, thank you. I'm gonna have to look into that. looks really good

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

One week later, got the truck out in the sun for the first time and a quick after paint wash/clean up of the interior. Then managed to get the bed on the frame, tailgate, passenger side trim and fender installed to begin to see what it will look like. Also ordered the carpet and windshield which will arrive later this week. Slowly starting to come together.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Looks awesome love the two tone paint. I'm partial to two tone on these c10's.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Gotta love two tone right!

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Man that is coming together great. I wonder how many people will even notice the white is a tri-coat. BTW awesome garage television!

How did you not paint your walls more red?

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Agree, the SPI products in my opinion are second to none. This is also my second time using them (epoxy, 2k, 2k High Build primers & wax and grease cleaner) and I would continue to use them.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Absolutely, nice looking ride! The two tone was something I wanted from the start of this project. All the these trucks look good but the two tone gives them an authentic feel even though two tone schemes like this one wouldn't have come from the factory.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks man, I agree the tri-coat pearl white is tough to see in the garage and the shade but it really pops in the sun. The grill is what will be very noticeable, compliments the slant nose very well.

I minimized red paint on the wall by hosing down the floor with water, fans and the large heavy plastic divider really helped attract a lot of the over spray due to its large static surface. The red on the wall near the driver door was because I was shooting outwards to get the edge of the door while it was open and it was simply too close to the wall to avoid.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

New windshield installed, for some reason it was a lot more difficult than the last time. The trick was to start the rope reveal from the top of the window as opposed to the bottom and a lot of soapy water. I also finished installing all the trim on the fenders, doors and bed. Finally, I installed the front grill, fenders and hood hinges while doing my best to square everything up for hood installation next.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Seats and carpet are in, I decided to go with the same seats as my last build which are brand new Honda Odyssey leather seats and console pull outs. They fit really well and sit low like true bucket seats after I cut off all the brackets to lower them about 2 inches. I went with a saddle colored carpet to compliment the saddle dash pad (in the mail) and plans are to accent both the light and dark colors on the door panels to tie it all together.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Man those look comfy

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks, they surprisingly are very comfy and you can’t beat new leather seats.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Wood wasn’t too bad so I decided to sand 80 then 120.

Came out pretty good but I’m going to finish with outdoor enamel in a saddle color to match the interior carpet.

Great job... your truck looks awesome. What color pearl red did you use?

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks man, really appreciate it!

I used Restoration Shop 2702 Fire Red Pearl (TCP Global). I had great results on my last build with their products and very satisfied once again.

That's looking good

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Gauges installed, went with the C10 Intellitronix in white this time around.

I sure hope I'm not the only one on the forum enjoying this build.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

I can only hope mine will ever look that nice. Great job.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks really appreciate it! Slowly crossing off one task at a time. I just started rebuilding the vent windows and about to set them with urethane. Then it’s wiring up the electric windows with new switches and finishing off the door panels. I have some left over pearl white paint and I’m thinking the contrast of pearl white door panels may look good.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Very nice work! Truck is just beautiful.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Awesome Build! you made it look easy

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

What if you painted the door panels to match the interior seats in a matte finish. Just an idea. I know it's not easy to match fabric but could give a more comfortable feel to your interior then a slick hard shine that

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

That’s a great idea but your right it’s tough to match. As a matter of fact, my original plan was to cover the panels with a matching fabric but I’ve tried ordering 2 different fabrics with no success. I have decided to paint the panels like they were originally but in the pearl white I have left over and will be using saddle arm rest and escutcheons that match the dash pad.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Those seats look awesome...my wife has a honda odyssey with same color leather seats and they're super comfortable and high quality. Build looks great

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Nice build..

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

So how did you mount the seats? I used same seats, just not sure I understand what direction you went. Your seats still slide forward and back, but you removed the tilt/remove bracketry right?

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

I mounted the seats flat (using the slider / track front bolts) after removing the brackets as you described. Correct, seats still move forward and back but removing the brackets makes them sit a few inches lower.

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

Wow you must be tall!

Re: UXDesigner's 1967 C10 - The Keeper
 

I'm 6'0, some would say average height but the seats feel correct even for others that are shorter. I personally think the seat height (lower like true bucket seats) is what makes the truck more fun to drive. A very different driving experience from the high hunched over position.
